GOD, who at sundry times, and in divers Manners, spake in time past to the Fathers, by the Prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed Heir of all things, by whom also he made the World.
Who being the brightness of his Glory, and the express Image of his Person; and upholding all things by the word of his
Power, when he had by himself purg'd our Sins, sate down at the Right-hand of the Majesty on high; being so much bet∣ter than the Angels, as he hath by Inhe∣ritance obtain'd a more excellent Name than they.
For unto which of the Angels said he, at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee; and again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son.
And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the World, he saith, and let all the Angels of God worship him.
And of the Angels he saith, who made his Angels Spirits, and his Ministers a flame of Fire.
But unto the Son he saith, thy Throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a Scepter of Righteousness is the Scepter of thy King∣dom.
Thou hast loved Righteousness, and ha∣ted Iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the Oyl of Gladness above thy Fellows.
And thou, Lord, in the beginning, hast laid the Foundations of the Earth, and the Heavens are the Works of thy hands.
They shall perish, but thou remainest, and they all shall wax old, as doth a Gar∣ment:
And as Vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy Years shall not fail.
R. Live, glorious Jesu, and reign for ever, eternal King of Heaven and Earth; may all the blessed above perpetually adore Thee, and all thy Servants continually praise thee; and every Tongue confess, that thou, O Lord, art most high in the Glory of God the Father, Alleluja. Thou wert obedient to Death, even the death of the Cross, wherefore God hath exalted Thee, and given Thee a Name above eve∣ry Name, that at the Name of Jesus, eve∣ry Knee should bow, of things in Heaven, of things on Earth, and of things under the Earth.
